If you want to use the Ir port in the charger, you need to initialize it but I don't think Mot's published the init stuff. If memory serves, it's a very specific and proprietary string. To talk to the P935, though, you can use any standard IrDA port. I use an Extended Systems USB IrDA dongle on my big box and the built-in IrDA port on my VAIO to talk to my P935 and my A009. I only use the chargers to charge.

Two questions before I get started on this: 1) Am I understanding you correctly that I don't need to worry about initializing the IR port on the charger? or are you saying that I need to use a different IR port? (it's the only one I've got.) 2) If I can use it, what type of dongle is it?
